"é" character bug

[_Loki_]

I play the PokerStars site & my OS = XP. English" Small Stakes HM (Beta 34). I think I've found a bug. It doesn't bother me in the least, but I'm curious to know...

QUESTION: Is this bug due to the use of é (e-acute ASCII 130) in players name ?

A] In the PS table selection window...
*** I see this player name = fénix_pk

B] In the part of the HUD that shows the winner/winnings of the past 3 games. If I click on one of them to view a pop-up of the hand...
*** I see this player name = f_f_nix_pk
(the second f is actually an f with a hook - it's called a function sign or florin sign - ASCII code 159)

C] In HM Replayer...
*** I see this ab. name = f___nix
*** I see this for full name = fénix_pk

Kind regards
Michael

If possible could you post screen shots of it?

Could you also please email some of the hands with that player.

Please www.7zip.org the hands and email them to fabio@holdemmanager.net, with a link to this thread, and your forum name.

FABIO EMAIL:
There are only 3 hands with "fénix_pk". I've just emailed Fabio the hands (not bothered to zip 5kb)
I've attached them here as well. You will note that the player name is rendered correctly as "fénix_pk" in the HH's I've supplied

SCREENSHOTS OF REPLAYER:
What software do you use for clipped screenshots ?
Can you recommend a free screenshot program for XP that will allow me to capture parts of the screen ?
A link to a reliable source would be best if possible, because I'm not techy & I want to avoid anything with spyware etc

I use SnagIt which is not free.

Here is 1 that is well reviewed on the cnet site. I have never used it personally.

Thanks Fozzy. I've figured ScreenHunter out - got 3 cropped images ready...

Now what ? Where & how to upload ? All new to me

FABIO EMAIL:

I have no problems with his name anywhere. Install the latest Beta: http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmBetaUpdate.exe and go to Options -> Database Management.

After clicking on connect, choose "Create New Database" and you will be able to create a database with UTF8 encoding

I will have a careful think before I attempt this since everything is going so well otherwise

** Fozzy can you point me to more detailed instructions please ?
** Besides helping me view names correctly - what's the advantages of UTF8 encoding ?

Michael

A] In HH player name is displayed correctly:




B] In Players tab it's shown as fénix_pk:




C] In Replayer it's also shown as fénix_pk:



D] The HUD in Replayer shows the Ab. Name as f___nix
I can see this, but ScreenHunter can't

E] The HM popup in the HUD when playing on PokerStars shows the name as f_f_nix_pk
I don't know how to show you that !

UTF8 character encoding seems to be not (fully) supported.

[fabio]

Loki - did you try it with a new UTF8 Database yet?

kz282 - are you experiencing the same problem despite having created a new DB?

PS: I'm using PostgreSQL 8.4

These are the details of my DB. Do you need any more data?
